iOS 14 sleep wake up alarm sound not working on iPhone

Same issue for me. It is really disappointing. I even tried to turn the feature off to “push notifications” (alarms) to my watch- and this still did nothing. I absolutely loved the sleep/wake up feature before- and I am really disappointed they made this overly complicated in the recent update- and ultimately need to fix this bug.

Thanks for including the link to Product Feedback. Everyone on this thread (and their friends, family, neighbors) need to give this product feedback directly to Apple. Another suggestion to get their attention is to downgrade your app rating - they don’t really care about us little people, but they do care about their app ratings and their stock price. Talk with your ratings and your wallet!

Most people aren't having this problem. Which, unfortunately, means it's going to be harder for Apple to figure out where the cause (or probably multiple causes) lies.

I get the direction Apple is going with looping sleep onto the “wake up” alarm- but I really don’t know anyone who wears their watch to sleep. That’s just my experience- and it could be many people do. But, there has to be enough people out there who don’t sleep with it on, where these bugs would be an issue. I am really hoping Apple reaches out to try to identify the cause. Appreciate your perspective and info!

I am also having a version of this but it is even stranger. I have my iPhone and watch on chargers at night. Watch is set for silent like many here - I don’t want the dings during the day. I am not using the Sleep function under Health, but I have a daily alarm set for 7 a.m. So the alarm goes off at, with sound. If I leave the phone on the charger and hit snooze, the snooze alarm goes off again after 9 minutes. If I pull the phone off the charger and put it next to me and hit snooze, the snooze alarm doesn’t sound. I wake up a few minutes later, look at my phone and it says the alarm is going - the screen options are to stop or hit snooze. No sound, no vibration. Phone is not on silent, not on Do Not Disturb (that ends at 7 a.m. also). The watch will vibrate, but of course I can’t tell because it is on its charger. So it isn’t that the alarm isn’t really set - it does go off with sound initially.

I just started having this issue. I was late to work yesterday thanks to this. My phone was silent, yet no setting has been changed. I was not wearing my watch, it was on the charger. This morning was the same yet I happened to be wearing my watch, so it vibrated and woke me - no sound from the phone phone though. This needs a repair ASAP. If not, then where do I send the bill at Apple for the alarm clock that I'll need to purchase?

Not sure why it only just started with you because this problem started several updates ago. I have communicated with Apple Support in the past and your post reminded me to try again; hope to actually speak with someone in a few minutes.

Yes! And now I’m realizing if I’m not wearing my watch or if my watch is dead, the regular phone alarms aren’t working either. It’s insane! I guess we have to go back to old style Almaty clocks if we want to keep our jobs! You would think the $800+ phone could do the job, but alas...

It not like we didn’t have enough stress and now they mess with something that worked fine! I do not own an Apple watch or want one. “Bedtime” sleep tracking worked just fine and now it is disabled in IOS 14 to force you to use the Health app “sleep” feature. I hate it.

Same problem here....I gave up trying to fix it and downloaded another app to wake me up via the phone. I want to track my sleep on the watch, which is why I bought it in the first place. But it doesn’t do me any good now because the phone won’t sound at all. Apple please fix this!

I have the same issue. I have my watch on the charger and there is no way it vibrating will wake me up.

I turned off the night stand mode on my apple watch and that seems to have fixed the issue.

So you're not experiencing the issue that this thread is about then?

Same, but I AM able to turn off my alarm from my watch— snooze or off
